Settings
For maximum
cleaning
performance, the
following carpet
height settings are
recommended
(Fig.4/9):
NOTE: If the cleaner is difficult to push, turn knob to
the next higher setting.
• Higher settings: for very deep pile carpet, where easier
pushing effort is desired, while maintaining good cleaning
performance.
Brushbar Shut-off
The brushbar shuts off automatically for tool use, when
the cleaner is in the upright position.
WARNING:
The brush bar must NOT be rotating
when cleaning hard floors. Switch the brush bar
off to prevent damage to lino, parquet and other hard
flooring.
To manually shut off the brushbar for cleaning hard
floors, step on the pedal (A). The indicator (B) will show
red in the “brushbar off” window (Fig.4/10).
To turn the brushbar on, step on the pedal again. The
indicator will show red in the “brushbar on” window.
Cleaning Lightweight Flexible Rugs
Stand on one end of rug and move cleaner toward other
end or edge. Before reaching edge, push down on handle.
This will lift up the nozzle (front of cleaner) as shown and
will prevent rug from clinging to cleaner (Fig.4/11).
Continue to lift up nozzle so that when you have reached
the edge, it is completely off the rug. Move cleaner back
to start again, lower nozzle, and use only forward strokes.
Cleaning Tools
Tools allow for cleaning surfaces above the floor and for
reaching hard to clean areas.
The cleaner is ready for tool use when handle is in
upright position.
CAUTION: The brushbar will not rotate when
the cleaner is in the upright position or the if
the brushbar shut off indicator is in the OFF position
when the handle is lowered.

Cleaning tools may be washed in warm water with a
detergent. Rinse and air dry before using.
Removing Hose
When using cleaning tools, place cleaner handle in the
upright position. The brushbar will not rotate when the
cleaner is in the upright position.
Also, turn cleaner OFF before disconnecting and
connecting hose to hose tube (A).
